    Hey Thor, if you're not too busy, could you take a look at this article and tell me if it needs cleanup or not? I'm not sure if the personality descriptions and introduction are canon or speculation, but my guess is toward the latter.

    I know it flows better (I hate using gender-neutral pronouns, too), but using a plural pronoun (them) in conjunction with a singular antecedent (the Avatar) is grammatically incorrect. I think KrazyKid51 brought this up in this discussion.

      I'm not going to claim to have an extensive enough knowledge of grammar to refute what you say, but the way it was written was very awkward to read, and in general it read much better as it was.

      That said, what if we were to re-jig to the sentence to remove the need for the pronoun completely; something like:

      "Bloodbending is also nullified when the Avatar channels immense amounts of cosmic energy through the Avatar State, as demonstrated by Aang, who was able to break free of Yakone's hold instantaneously."

      Your thoughts?

      That's definitely much better. The problem with pronouns is that grammarians have kept changing their usage rules over the past few years, so now we're left with awkward double pronouns like "his or her" and "him- or herself", which are meant to supplant the extremely pervasive "they/their/them". 

      I'd say, go with that change, just to be grammatically correct.

      It has been many moons since I had a proper English lesson, and we mathematicians prefer to use symbols and letters, so grammar issues rarely occur.

      I will make that change now.

    Family tree fix
    Lady Lostris

    Hey HoT, could you please undo these two edits and subsequently fix the template to make it show up correctly? I would do so myself, but I have no idea how to work with those trees and since I've seen you do it before, here I am.

    Even though it is not conventional to list "Earth Kingdom man" and "Fire Nation woman" in the trees, I think we could make an exception here, since the nationality of the parents is of importance in RC and not so implied as it was in ATLA. (Though the man should be listed before the woman). Thanks.

      Yes check Done

      It seems the tree doesn't like names that force the size of the box to be beyond three tiles. I've managed to fix it, the only problem is the tree has a very small gap just under the parents names. I've tried several different methods, but I cannot find anything at the moment that will fix that and keep everything else the same. I'll keep looking for anything that might work.

      Well, it's better than anything I could do with it, so thank you ^^. And the space isn't all that noticeable.

      It's more just the annoyance of knowing that it is there. But one small gap is preferable to what it was, so I guess I can live with it.

    External links
    Krazykid51

    I get that it's under the section of External links, but it doesn't look like an external link formatting-wise; unlike other external links that have a diagonal arrow afterward, this one is a wiki link, so there is no notice of where it is leading. I was under the impression for a moment that it would be leading to an article of Avatar Wiki, but I clicked and found out it was at Wikipedia instead. I think it might be beneficial to avoid confusion by putting some sort of notice, even if it's under the external links section.

      That just seems an unnecessary thing to add in my opinion. The fact it doesn't look like an external link is covered by it being in a section titled "External links". To me, that is enough clarification/notice, anything more is just superfluous.

      Well at the very least, don't you think it would make sense to give notice of where the external link leads instead of just leaving an ambiguous "ocean kumquat" at the bottom of the page? Instead of having the user walk into it blindly, he can see where it leads immediately and decide if he wants to read an article about it on Wikipedia or not.

      If you hover your mouse over the link, it comes up wikipedia:Sea cucumber, so again, I don't see what need there is to add that in.

    Hello HammerOfThor. I made this edit because I looked through a number of the "History of" pages and saw that they were all in that format. Examples are this and this. Is Toph's Book Three history page an exception to this format?

      Since you made over 50 repetitive edits, I think anyone would call that a high number of RC-flooding edits. There is no set number on doing such things, but when you see that your edits are swiftly pushing down any other edit made, I'd say it's better to get them done by a flagged account -especially at this hour, since thats among the busiest on the wiki. If you would've done this in our morning, I'd still say that it would've been better done by a flagged account, but it would at least have been less of a flood, given the more tranquil state of the wiki.

      There were hardly any edits made between the start and finish, so I would hardly say the wiki is buzzing. But I get your point.

    Your help
    Redsonjustinforever

    Hello HammerOfThor, I would like to ask for your help in aiding my Avengers Assemble wiki. Now before you say you are unaware of the series and or franchise, all you have to do is watch the two aired episodes and put information onto the articles, similarly to how you do on here and the show itself is designed to explain itself to new viewers, something I am assuming you are.

    I would understand if you are not able to help me, as I am sure that real life and other oppressing matters have come up at this point. I just figured that since the ATLA wiki is perfection, you could help me with mine. The link to the wiki is here: http://avengersassembletheanimatedseries.wikia.com/wiki/Avengers_Assemble_The_Animated_Series_Wiki

    You can watch the first and second episodes here:

      Hmm, I don't know if I will have the time to work on expanding and improving any articles. I have another wiki that I have am already working on, and that will require a significant amount of time and effort to bring it up to the standard I want.

      If I can find the time, I might be able to watch the episodes, and then maybe write up some episode synopses for them. I cannot really offer any more than that.

    First of all, The only reason Mako worked at the power plant so he could make enough money to ante up for the tournament. When Asami came along and her father agreed to cover their ante, it would make sense to assume he had no need to work at the power plant anymore.

    Second, the arena was closed in response to the Equalist attack, so that meant Probending would be on indefinite hiatus. At the time, they didn't know how long the conflict would last, nor how long repairs would take.

      I still do not think Mako had the job after his money problems were solved, because, 1). He did not like doing it, thus the only reason he did it was to try solving his money problems for the tournament

      But an assumption or opinion is not proof. What you said might make sense, but that doesn't make it true.

    The Drill Trivia Tip

    I was trying to let the fans know about Katara mocking Ty Lee for blocking her chi in "Return To Omashu." I must've use the wrong word when Ty Lee blocked Katara's bending in the Guru.

      To expand upon my original reasoning, the mere mention of chi blocking is not enough to say that what she said was actively foreshadowing what happens later on, and thus a relevant point under series continuity. An example where this is the case would be Aang's mention of wanting to be a metalbender (which, at that point, did not exist), which foreshadows Toph discovering the art itself.

      Does that help?

      If that was the case then that's fine. I should add however that actions by another person on your account would still be grounds for a warning or a block, so you should be wary of this happening again, or you could end up being blocked unfairly.
